  1. Manavgat (Mediterranean coastal Turkey) - 36.7418835,31.66006184, altitude c. 200m On the path we walked up I spotted this. I've no idea what it really is but it made me think of a starfish/sea urchin type of creature though perhaps the features better fit some kind of flat sea-type creature? Cheers! Over to you all... David
  2. Hi so I'm completely new to all of this and what I found was by accident and thankfully I got bored with me and my son's fish tank substrate because I would of just threw this back in the dirt. Anyways I was collecting rocks for the fish tank and brought a bunch home an took the most like ones inside to put in the fish tank and left the rest outside well months later I wanted to change the tanks look so I went through the pile of rocks when I noticed one of the coolest things I ever found then after looking on Google I seen a picture and thought it looked like another rock I found hopefully someone could please tell me what I found and if it's a more of a common or hopefully rare find. I do plan on going to try and find more. Thanks ( the first 9 pics are of what I found then the rest is what I found on Google # 1 # 2 # 3 Google Pics:

    Daughter’s complete fossil

    This piece was found by a river the beautiful ribbing is repeated- 5 segments. Im not sure what it is but would appreciate help in identifying!

    Unknown Fossil Bone ID

    I found this specimen where I have found most of my others, near a cow pond off of Vermillion Lake about 16 miles from Sioux Falls. I am very curious as to what it might be true to it's smooth and refined shape.

    Dominican Amber (La Toca Fm., 20.43-13.65 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    4.7g piece of amber from the La Cumbre Mine, measuring (mm) 25x22x15. It has a couple marcasite inclusions: seen here is a protruding portion (one half remains inside the piece) that was perhaps a gas bubble, but later infiltrated with iron and sulfur in solution during burial, migrating via a fracture/microfracture; or it may be a permineralized organic/inorganic inclusion (shell, quartz pebble, etc.), which are documented in amber from the La Cumbre deposit, and is called "double fossilization": while this occurs in tiny grains of younger La Cumbre amber which were deposited after the older amber seen here, it is possible it is seen in this older La Cumbre material. Another example of double fossilization is known from fully pyritized insects with marcasite interiors, recorded from cretaceous amber in NW France. There are dozens of visible dual-phase, countless single-phase, and at least two triple-phase bubbles. "Pyrite disease" is a major concern with this specimen; even with preservation in an airtight container, oxidation is still possible, given the presence of gas/liquid inclusions, and the fact that water and gases do penetrate and migrate within amber over time. Portions of the piece may be doomed, but it is interesting while it lasts.

    Dominican Amber (La Toca Fm., 20.43-13.65 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    5.4g piece of amber from the La Cumbre Mine, measuring (mm) 28x24x18. It has a couple marcasite inclusions: visible here, is a protruding portion (one half remains inside the piece) that was perhaps a gas bubble, but later infiltrated with iron and sulfur in solution, via a natural fracture/microfracture; the other is a natural fracture viewable on the opposite side, infiltrated and completely coated by marcasite: the thin film that begins at the rough, unbroken exterior (underside of specimen in picture). There are dozens of visible dual-phase, countless single-phase, and at least two triple-phase bubbles. These are easily seen in the other four related photos of the finished specimen.

    Dominican Amber (La Toca Fm., 20.43-13.65 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    Triple-phase inclusion and a few in-focus single and dual-phase inclusions nearby. The triple-phase bubble is a narrow chamber, possibly part of a methane termite (incomplete, heavily oxidized); there are two organic solids, the larger preventing the migration of the gas bubble. These inclusions are contained within the 5.4-4.7g specimen depicted in the four related photos. This image was captured using a Samsung WB35F while holding a BelOMO 10x loupe between the lens and specimen.

    Dominican Amber (La Toca Fm., 20.43-13.65 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    Triple-phase inclusion (center right) and over twelve, viewable dual-phase inclusions nearby. The triple-phase bubble contains movable particulates, which are slightly visible here in the lower-half portion of the bubble. These inclusions are contained within the 5.4-4.7g specimen depicted in the four related photos. This crude image was captured using a Samsung WB35F while holding a BelOMO 10x loupe between the lens and specimen.

    Dominican Amber (La Toca Fm., 20.43-13.65 Ma)

    From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities

    4.7g piece of amber from the La Cumbre Mine, measuring (mm) 25x22x15. Seen at the base of the specimen is a natural fracture that was infiltrated and completely coated by marcasite during the resin's diagenesis, in a thin film that began at the previously rough, unbroken exterior (underside of specimen in picture). There are dozens of visible dual-phase, countless single-phase, and at least two triple-phase bubbles. These are easily seen in the other four related photos of the finished specimen. "Pyrite disease" is a major concern with this specimen; even with preservation in an airtight container, oxidation is still possible, given the presence of gas/liquid inclusions, and the fact that water and gases do penetrate and migrate within amber over time.

  11. So i found these fossils and im dying to know what they are! Can anyone help! I found them in smooth round stream river looking rocks(pic of the type rock im finding them inside included, thought it might help with id) that are lining are drainage ditch at a gas station. That first one resembles a hornets face so much! But as the rock its inside has seashell fossils inside it too thats probably highly unlikely. Ive been an avid gem collector and rock hound for a very long time. I know alot about crystals and minerals, plan to get my gemology degree from GIA eventually. But I know next to nothing about fossils.
  12. Just over 2 feet long, only between 10 and 15 sharp teeth. Any help is appreciated!

    Possible fossil find. Need ID

    Bottom is the size of a Kennedy Half Dollar. Found in a river bed of the Los Padres Nat'l forest in Southern California. Have found other fossils here in the past. Mostly clam shell fossils. Thanks! Dave

    Prepping And using water

    So i spray little bit of water on my fossils and scrub with a toothbrush. But sometimes these appear orange marks. Not sure if i just did not see them before. I prep under a normal ikea lamp. I have heard the sun can discolor fossils. My curtains cover the Windows in the room. The water really helps me see better detail. I just wanna be 100% safe
  17. I've got a pair of sandals that usually work great for creeks... but a couple of weeks ago I went to creek that was full of stones that continually worked inside my sandals. So, I would like another shoe that will keep stones out for use in creeks like that one. Anyone know of a good, not too expensive, water shoe for creek use that might fit the bill?

    Found Fossil

    I am new to the Fossil Forum! Hello!! My daughter and I were taking our daily walk near our home, which has a drainage reservoir nearby. We found this rock which at closer glance consisted of several fossil impressions. At first we thought it was a fish's fin but after some brief research I believe it may be some sort of Byrozoan. Can anyone help ID?

    Trace fossils or water residue?

    So- been starting to look for my first conodonts in black shale in the Kansas City area and I commonly see what appears to be mineral deposits left when water seeps through layers, then dries, but these are in winterset limestone (as best I can tell) and while they look similar, maybe these are trace fossils? thanks for taking a look! Bone
  20. I searched every body of water on Rockd to see any sedimentary deposits that are near me; there is nothing. Everything is metamorphic, but then I came across Lytle Creek. I wen't on the map on Rockd and checked and it said something about sediment deposits. The info was too confusing; I couldn't find any easier info.

    Waders ?

    Anyone have any they recommend? Something easy to slip on and flexible. Debating the hip waders or something simple to slip on over boots.

    Bones Found in Ocean Cave

    Hey guys, I've found some bones and want to see if anyone is able to identify them for me. So while snorkeling off the coast of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands I found a spine of some sort. It was resting inside the opening of a cave. The length of spine that was visible to me was about half a metre maybe just over half a metre long. Each single vertebrae was about 20cm wide. Please view the photo provided. (Sorry I'm having trouble uploading the photo, I'm gonna try again in the morning..) Any help or input is greatly appreciated thank you

    Western NY fossil

    Hello! Back again with something I found while looking through my room. I can't remember exactly where I found it except that it was certainly in the Western portion of NYS. I most likely found it in a lake or river It's probably fairly simple to identify, but I don't know this stuff well myself or even what to search for online. Thanks for help!

    Looks a bit like a finger

    First time I've found one of these. From Norway close to a place with a lot of trilobites, if that helps. There may be more of the fossil hidden in the rock, but I'm a bit scared about hammering around it. Any idea what it might be?
